Wall o' text Ho!

I don't think you can plausibly undo the SHRA without some major draw backs. SHRA itself completely shook up the power structure of the hero/villain world, so it stands to reason that its complete removal would warrant the same results - there's no guarantee that what could happen would be in favor of the "good guys"

It's such a big, looming, thing that to just have it taken out as if it were a frivolous bill, is somewhat extreme. The bill does have its strong points: mainly that superheroes need some sort of training - or at least accountability for some of the major damage that results from their more intense fights. So..I don't know, having it modified so that government employed heroes had to receive some sort of comprehensive training, as well as disclosing their identity to a sort of Super Hero Czar (NOT OSBORN OH JESUS FUCK NO). But if an average citizen that just happens to have a super ability does the whole Good Samaritan thing, they shouldn't suddenly have to sacrifice their lives and become this drone soldier for the gov't.
